Avi Mankes, one of the organizers of the Jerusalem Faction demonstrations, told Arutz Sheva that they are determined to continue with the demonstrations over the arrest of 10 draft dodgers.

"We don't see them as deserters but as heroes. Unfortunately the police are encouraged to act violently towards us whereas regarding Haifa chemicals , broadcasting authority members and disabled persons who block roads, they did nothing and certainly didn't arrest them. At our first demonstration forty people were arrested," said Mankes.
